OIL CAN SUPPORT AND OIL STOVE Filed May 7, 1928 INVENTOR I wa m' ATTORNEY.

Patented Dec. 9, 1930 UNITED STATES FFECE OIL-CAN SUPPORT AND OIL srrovE Application filed May 7,

This invention has particular relation to supports for filling devices.

An object of the invention comprehends a bracket member adapted to support a filling device in position to discharge the contents thereof within a receptacle.

The primary object of the invention as will be noted from the drawings and subjoined specification is to support filling cans in position to discharge the contents thereof within receptacles for oil burning stoves when the receptacle is swung to an inverted position.

Another object of the invention embodies a bracket member adapted for connection with the stove and to dispose the supporting member and filling device at a desired angle therefrom.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the invention.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the elements adapted to be combined to produce the modification.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates an oil stove provided with a tank bowl 11 having connection with burners not shown, through theinstrumentality of a pipe line 12. Said bowl is adapted to support an oil tank 13 in an inverted position thereon and for this purpose the tank is hingedly connected with the bowl 11, as indicated at 14, the oil being fed to the burners by gravitation.

As is generally known in the filling of the b tanks 13, it is incumbent upon the person filling the tank to stand by and hold a can, such asindicated at 15, in a position to most effectively discharge the contents thereof within the tank 13. Such operation requires -videda plate member 16.

upon the uppermost 192s. Seria1.No. 275,321.

that the can-l5 be held in such position approximately four or five minutes.

In carrying out the invention, 1 have pro- A plate member 28 carried upon a bolt member 29 extended '55 horizontally through the" plate member 16 is reduced for an appreciable portion of its length, as indicated at 30, to provide a combined spacing and locking plate. A pin 31 horizontally projected from the innerside 0f the plate member 16 is adapted for reception within a semi-circular cut-out portion 32 in the lowermost end of the combined spacing and locking plate 30 to prevent shifting movement of the latter and the plate member 16 when applied for use upon the stove. An L-shaped arm 33 pivotally mounted upon the uppermost end of the longer leg thereof upon the bolt member 29 is adapted to support cans for filling oil tanks located adjacent the bottoms of stoves.

A substantially inverted U-shaped member 34 carried upon the underside of the L- shaped member 33 is adapted to support cans for filling oil tanks, having the tank bowls located at a higher level than the bowl. In order to hold the L-shaped member 33 and U-shaped member 34 against displacement when disposed in the positions as illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawing, an L-shaped hook 35 mounted for lateral swinging movement offset extremity of the plate member 16 upon the underside of the stove is adapted for reception within an opening 36 in. the longer arm of the L- shaped member 33. It is noted that the device may be used equally and effectually as well upon cans for filling oil tanks and bowls therefor located at different heights upon stoves.

When the can is emptied, the same may be removed and thevoil tank swung upon the pivot connection upon the bowl therefor to occupy an inverted position to feed the urners.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed is A can support for use upon oil burning stoves comprising a plate member having an offset upper end engageable with the upper and outer side of the stove, a locking plate carried by the plate member haying a 'reduced portion extended behind the 'sideof .the stove body oppositely disposed to that of the depending portion of the plate member, an L- shaped plate member having one end=-p-ivotally connected with the plate member, a U-shaped member carried upon the shorter leg of the L-shaped member having the arms therefor oppositely disposed with relation to that of the 'shorterileg of the L-shaped member, and ahook carried by the plate member engageable with the longer leg of the L-shaped member to sustain same and-the g U-shaped member in position for use.
